You have to specify which wheels. They have a few different looks/kinds.

I was thinking the LM reps or the TE37 reps. Even the work meister reps that are releasing look good. Just want a preference of how they would look on our cars.

These would make good beater wheels since where I live all the roads are crappy. I've recently had SSR Vienna on my old IS300 and it was scary using them as daily >_<

there were a few guys on here that had LM reps on their cars. Looks really good. One member from Hawaii has the real TEs on his LS. Also looked good.

lol, i have my fair share of legit wheels real Volk TE37 in bronze, Work Equips chrome, Volk GTP gun metal and polished, Work Euroline Black, Enkie RP-01, G7 panasport gunmetal, Work VS k/f burning black (just sold them so I could pay for my trip to China and the Bahamas for spring break)
Wedsport Sa90 bronze so I know the value of a good set. I rock these because I pick them up in a trade, and i don't live in the best part of town so if im going to get ripped off I would rather have these taken then any of my other sets.

But thanks for telling me my car looks good and calling me cheap in the same sentence.

Honestly, I have had numerous sets of rims and if I had the option to get the ones I wanted and they were reps, I probably would've unless they were not as "sturdy" as the originals. I've had many sets of Volks, one, two and three piece set-ups. I have a set of GT-U's in my garage now. Use to be the reps couldn't pull the look off like the originals. But Rota and Varroestens have come a long way and improved their replica quality. If you're short on cash and functionality (ie; wheel strength for high torque applications) aren't a worry, reps can work. I was thinkinng of getting some reps for a daily set-up honestly and have my "show" set-up on stand-by.

I've been to some shady places where you always have to look out of your window to see if your rims and car are still outside, no way to live...
